for the weekend and midweek games at one place

Liverpool host Crystal Palace at Anfield looking to get a first win of the new 2017-18 season. Jurgen Klopp’s side finished the Premier League 2016-17 season in fourth place, as they managed to keep out a late challenge from Arsenal. As a result, Liverpool will go into a two-legged playoff seeking qualification for the Champions League group stages. Last season, Crystal Palace finished 14th in the league standings – seven points adrift of the drop zone.

Liverpool FC vs Crystal Palace FC – Match odds

Crystal Palace are 9/1 to win, but we do not see them having much of a chance due to their poor defensive record. Palace conceded 63 in the 38 games last season, and they have continued this streak with three conceded against newcomers Huddersfield Town last weekend. Liverpool have won 12 of their 19 games at home last season, and this was the fifth best tally in the Premier League last season. However, Palace have held the advantage in the head-to-head at Anfield with three wins to two in the last five outings. Despite this, Liverpool could be backed to end their recent awful home record against Palace with their attacking brand of football. Our preview is to go with a Liverpool win at 2/5 with SkyBet.
